Download Microsoft security essentials or AVG they are smaller as well as more effective than Nortons. I run both on my machine and they work fine together, both are available for free also though I have a license for AVG.

Malwarebytes works well for me. But you may have another problem with that add popping up saying you have a problem. That may be in your start files. Try Malware and if it don't quit then you may have to call malware.

Super anti spyware works well with malwarebytes to keep the crap off my pc. Both are free with free updates.

You will probably have to disable at a minimum. Unless you really love Norton I would dump it and go with a much less resource hog anti-virus. It is well known for slowing systems to a crawl and hanging on to deleted stuff forever unless you really beat on it.
